Let’s Celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in Style
You don’t want to miss the celebration in this cities
Hey All!
Note: I’m having surgery tomorrow on my eye. I’ll most like be tied up for the next few days, so I thought I would get this newsletter out Thursday so you have a few days to make plans for St. Paddy’s Day.
Also it’s a test to see if Thursday or Friday are better days to send the newsletter to give you time to make plans!
Have you ever wanted to live in a happy city? I don’t know the impact living in a happy city would have on your health and life.
I wouldn’t mind it, but it would depend on several factors, the first of which is the cost.
I mean, trading the cost of living to live in a happy city may not be the best thing. It could become the worst city if the price were way over the range you can handle.
I am bringing it up because the site StudyFinds.com has a list of the happiest cities to live in 2025, and the top three are California Cities.
The top three are…
Freemont
San Jose
Irvine
I can attest to Freemont being a good place to visit. Although only having been there a few times, I’m not the best judge, but hearing stories from Patti and others, I would have to say it sounds like a great place to live, but the cost is up there.
I’ll let you be the judge based on the story from Study Finds or your personal experience.
Back East, my mom would always get excited about the cherry blossoms in Washington, D.C., and spots in New York and Boston. Each year, I was destined to take a trip around the East Coast for her to see them.
You don’t have to travel to Washington, D.C., New York, or Boston.
You have many cherry blossoms happening right now in our Golden State.
Aswani Kura of The Charming Escape has the complete picture of the Cherry Blossom Bloom.
Okay, it’s St Paddy’s Day, and you’re trying to decide what to do and where to go.
Well, don’t let it be said we’re not trying to help you not only get ready for the big day but also helping to steer you in the right direction.
Below are most of the happenings in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, and Sacramento.
So hang on to your seats and read about it on Your Golden State Vibes.
By the way, Happy St. Paddy’s Day and Be Safe!
